FusionAuth Review

FusionAuth is a Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solution designed to help developers authenticate, authorize, and manage user access. The platform allows administrators to assign roles to team members and secure access through Single Sign-On for multiple web, mobile, and desktop applications. Managers can automatically detect unusual logins, lock user accounts during attacks, and enable application access via federated logins. FusionAuth also helps supervisors safeguard and control data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In addition, operators can create multi-step registration forms with customizable fields to collect candidate data.
FusionAuth integrates seamlessly with any language and framework and can be deployed anywhere in minutes.

FUSIONAUTH – TUTORIAL

FUSIONAUTH – FEATURES

• Notify your users: build trust through transparency by keeping users informed about potential security risks. Send customizable, localized email alerts for high-impact activities such as adding new MFA methods or updating email addresses.
• Block access: create a stronghold around your applications with customizable IP access control lists and CAPTCHA. These multi-layered defenses significantly reduce the risk of automated attacks, brute force attempts, and unauthorized access, keeping user data secure.
• Location-based security: leverage geolocation data to strengthen your security measures. With ATD, FusionAuth enriches all webhooks and login records with location data, enabling quick detection and response to geographically suspicious activity, adding another layer of protection to user accounts.
• Granular API control: maintain strict oversight of your API keys by limiting them to specific REST methods and endpoints. This granular access control ensures every key only has the permissions it needs, enhancing overall security.
• Restrict access to IP ranges: with IP ACLs, you can restrict an API key’s use to a defined IP address range. Ideal for CI/CD processes or backends that require elevated privileges.
• Tenant-locked keys: implement a layered defense strategy by locking API keys to specific tenants, reducing the potential impact of compromised keys.
• One API for API keys: generate and manage API keys programmatically, creating unique, secure keys for any software interacting with the solution. This automation improves security and simplifies key management.
• Security: WebAuthn biometrics provide a stronger and more intuitive authentication solution. Using native device features like fingerprint or facial recognition, WebAuthn removes the need for complex passwords and protects against threats such as phishing and account takeover.
• User experience: password reset processes often frustrate users with complicated verification steps. WebAuthn biometrics deliver a simpler, more secure alternative with facial or fingerprint authentication.
• Native device authentication: requires users to log in using the same native device authentication they use to unlock their devices. If biometrics are unavailable, passwordless options such as magic links can be used.
